Dr. Maria Sundell is a neurologist, Fellow of the European board of Neurology and clinical researcher at Karolinska University Hospital. As a speaker, her goal is to provide updated scientific knowledge in an easy-to-understand format.
Through years of clinical experience in neurology, she has developed a compassionate understanding of how we differ from each other, how most people desire some form of change and how common it is for us to get stuck in our tracks.
Maria’s signature opening explains the foundations of brain development and neural information processing to set the stage for a deeper understanding of topics such as motivation, resilience, innovation and growth mindset. Through visual tools and interactive demonstrations, she invites audiences to experience firsthand how we perceive reality differently, why this happens, and what it means for how we interpret and respond to the world.
Her presentations create aha-moments, like discovering why willpower alone rarely works for sustained change, leading to insights into how this understanding can be used for making progress.
The world is full of one-size-fits-all advice, but our brains are not the same so this approach often fails. Maria explains why this happens and how understanding our own brain and our individual starting point can help us choose and use an approach that works.
As a speaker Maria works closely with clients to ensure the content is tailored to their specific needs. Leaders leave understanding how to create environments that enable a growth mindset rather than just demanding it. Teams gain insight into why different members respond so differently to the same feedback. Individuals learn to recognize their brain’s patterns and choose strategies that actually work for their cognitive profile.
